"I have always been drawn to natural modalities of healing, focusing my efforts on the physical, emotional and energetic sources of dis-ease. I chose to study nursing because I value the holistic approach to healing, and have been a nurse for over twenty years. Since the age of 18, I wanted to serve as a bridge between Eastern and Western medicine as a means of helping others heal themselves. There is certainly a place for both, as many diagnostic and laboratory studies are necessary to determine the appropriate course of treatment. My pursuit of alternative healing modalities led me to study Reiki, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, Ayurvedic medicine, Native American medicine rituals, and prayer, among other things. I sought to treat episodes of my own anxiety with these modalities and eventually tried acupuncture, which is where I met Dr. Ruan’s parents. A decade later, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of a practice which considers the whole person, including his or her environment. My area of focus within the clinic is on cognitive decline. We use the Bredesen protocol, an extensive guideline that addresses sources of inflammation, toxins, and deficiencies in both nutrients and hormones. When I first arrived in Houston over a decade ago, I was the Director of Nursing at a memory care day center for dementia, a social program to support those with cognitive decline. Over time, I began to see younger and younger participants joining the program, a trend both shocking and concerning. Social programs were shown to slow the progression of cognitive decline, coupled with medication, but these were the only treatment options offered at the time."

Caring, knowledgeable, helpful advice

I met with Monique regarding my high blood pressure, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, and difficulty losing weight. Monique patiently listened to my concerns and asked me questions about my work, sleep, and exercise routines, my diet, the supplements I take. She gave me a thorough exam and provided me with advice that got me moving forward toward feeling better. Additionally, Monique recommended a blood test that provides insight on which nutrients my body is absorbing/not absorbing that may be affecting my energy level, ability to focus, and sleep quality. I'm so grateful she recommended this blood test as it gave me early warning signs that my hormone balance is out of whack, my energy level may be affected by my lack of Vitamin B12 and D, and that I have some heart disease risks that I need to tend to before I have more serious issues. I am grateful for Monique's care, patience, and expertise and the insight she gave me in just one visit.

Great experience!

I came here with my husband because we went to several dementia specialists. All they wanted to do was to prescribe medications. Monique and Dr. Ruan were able to do brain mapping for us that showed us that it was likely due to traumatic brain injury from over 10 years ago! We were never educated by other doctors how vitamin d and omega 3 and other supplements can help with brain function. Very excited to go through this process!
